Assessing the Conservation Priority of Alpine Carabid Beetle Communities by Mapping the Index of Natural Value
2025
Overview
Carabid beetles are a group of insects that have been widely investigated in their relationship with environmental features of terrestrial habitats. We leveraged our knowledge on the main factors driving the species composition of carabid beetle communities in the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site (Brenta mountain group, Italian Alps) to gain knowledge on which protected habitats host the most demanding and localized species. This will allow targeting conservation efforts on carabid beetle communities that are more sensitive to habitat disturbance and to climate change. We found that the most vulnerable communities inhabit rocky habitats at the highest altitudes and that, in general, vulnerability increases with altitude. We also found that habitats at the highest altitudes differ significantly in community composition compared to nearly all the other habitat types.
